Synthesis and Photocatalytic Characterization of Porous Cuprous Oxide

Abstract:

Cuprous oxide (Cu₂O) nanoparticals with high uniformity were prepared by the hydrothermal synthesis method using copper chloride and potassium chloride in the solvent of distilled water. Their micro- structures were characterized by using XRD, XPS and TEM techniques. The photocatalysis of the prepared samples were evaluated by the degradation of melthyl orange (MO) in aqueous solution under solar light irradiation. It can be found that Cu₂O sample was highly efficient catalysts and the Catalytic degradation of the Cu₂O nanoparticals for MO was not only due to the quality of Cu₂O samples but also to the concentration of H₂O₂. The decoloring ratio for MO solution has reached 98.6% in 110min
